Bioactivity | (2R/S)-6-PNG (6-Prenylnaringenin) is a potent and reversible Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channels (T-channels) blocker. (2R/S)-6-PNG can penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB). (2R/S)-6-PNG suppresses neuropathic and visceral pain in mice[1]. | |||||||||
Invitro | (2R/S)-6-PNG (6-Prenylnaringenin) potently blocks Cav3.2, but exhibits minor effect on high-voltage-activated Ca2+ channels and voltage-gated Na+ channels in differentiated NG108-15 cells[1]. On the basis of IC50 values, the proportion (Cav3.2/HVA) of the inhibition potency of (2R/S)-6-PNG on Cav3.2 and HVA-currents is 5.20, and that (Cav3.2/Nav) on Cav3.2 and Nav-currents is 3.54[1]. | |||||||||
In Vivo | (2R/S)-6-PNG (6-Prenylnaringenin; 10-30 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose; 15 min before Na2S) significantly reduced the Na2S-induced nociceptive behavior and/or referred hyperalgesia in onscious mice with intracolonic (i.col.) administration of Na2S, an H2S donor[1]. (2R/S)-6-PNG (30 mg/kg; i.p.) prevents the increased number of phosphorylated ERK-positive cells following i.col. Na2S in laminae I-II, V-VI and X to which the primary afferent neurons project, and the Na2S-induced increase in the phosphorylated ERK-positive cell number[1]. (2R/S)-6-PNG (0.01-1 and 0.1-10 nmol/paw; intraplantar administration) restores the mechanical allodynia induced by partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSNL) and by i.p. administration of Oxaliplatin (OHP) a, respectively, in a dose-dependent manner[1]. (2R/S)-6-PNG (20-30 mg/kg; i.p.) significantly reverses the PSNL-induced allodynia. (2R/S)-6-PNG (10-20 mg/kg; i.p.) significantly reverses the OHP-induced allodynia (5 mg/kg; i.p.; single dose)[1]. | |||||||||
